Could be that you are using too new of a flash utility to flash the BIOS... or that you need to update to a newer BIOS than the one you have that updates the Award BIOS version and the one you are trying to flash to doesn't have that functionality.

I'll say it again .. oh nooooo's, Steam and other platforms are dropping support for decade old OS's. I would do the same if I was running those platforms. Windows 7 has been EOL for years and Windows 10 is going EOL really soon. Just from a security standpoint it makes perfect sense not to mention …

Not sure about CL2, but I am looking on eBay and found a 16MB PC100 stick. Most of them that are listed as 16MB are actually 128MB. I'll post links/ parts numbers here in a minute. PC100 CL3: https://www.ebay.com/itm/125360702481?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NYJTeZmxSvi&sssrc= …

Linux has no good video editors ? Kdenlive is perhaps not my favourite cup of tea. But the last music video I made for a friend. Was made with Kdenlive, and Kdenlive is good. OpenShot is another great video editor for Linux. And if I am not mistaken, both editors are open source. Perhaps I have …

Just bought a Roland MT-300S for $30. It was sold as a music learning aid, but it has general midi, so I think it could work as a poor man's SC-55. There isn't a ton of information about this model, but some people have used it for DOS games. It seems like it's a bit flaky, but does work well for …

Don't forget: games tend to run on Intelligent mode and the MIDI IRQ needs to be set to 2/9 since a lot of games don't like anything that is not IRQ 2/9. Speaking from experience. For SoftMPU, http://bjt42.github.io/softmpu/ is where you'll get the latest version. I've used this for years and the …

Get a Promise SATA 1 PCI card or even an ATA133 card and use that I stead of the onboard. That will at least speed up the SSD. For the SD card, it is either the throughput of the SD card or the adapter limiting the speed. For SMB to even have a chance of working between the NAS and Windows 98SE, you …

Lemon essential oil from doTERRA makes pretty quick work of that sticky junk. Generic (any other brand) of lemon essential oil will work as well. Put a drop or two on and rub it around in a small-ish area for a bit and then wipe it off. Make sure to try on a piece that doesn't show because some …

1. You don't need the DOS4GW.exe lines for the Yamaha card unless you have to use DSDMA. Those default lines for DOS4GW are dumb either way as there is absolutely no ready to copy it, run it, and then delete it. From DOS, without booting into Windows, run SETUPDS.exe. this will either day the card …
